    Small Care Homes: Reimagining Long-Term Care

    A different model of long-term care for a more personalized experience. Long-term care in Canada is mostly made up of large, institutional facilities. They aren’t known as warm and inviting places to call home. But there is a growing movement for a culture change pushing for alternatives. In this episode of The Future Age podcast, host Zannat Reza explores a different model of long-term care, based on smaller homes with a more personalized experience.   Dawn Harsch, founder of ExquisiCare, joins Zannat to talk about why she decided to build small care homes, the benefits those homes offer, and the future of this model of care.
